"It was the Benghazi attack ad the Republican National Committee created but never aired."
"The video of the Benghazi attack used in the ad includes the sound of
gunfire and what appear to be voices of people speaking a foreign
language as flames engulf the consulate.
A source familiar with the creation of the ad says the RNC leadership
approved the ad but it was scrapped at the last minute because of
objections from the Romney campaign, which was concerned the ad would
distract from Romney’s efforts to focus on the economy.

While the ad borrows from Hillary Clinton’s efforts to raise
questions in 2008 about Barack Obama’s ability to lead the country
through a crisis, Republicans are now pointing to the Benghazi attack
and the way it was handled to raise questions about the leadership of
Hillary Clinton, who was secretary of state at the time of the attack.
Democrats will likely point to the un-aired commercial as evidence
that Republicans are raising concerns about the Benghazi attack to score
political points."
